Joe Bragg R.I.P.

I've met a lot of very nice people since moving to West Cumbria - it has to be one of the friendliest places on earth - but Joseph Bragg MBE who died on Friday at the age of 80 was one of the nicest.

A true gentleman, the number of ways in which he served the community is far too long to list, but I will remember him for his ready smile.

Joe's funeral will be held at 12.15 tomorrow (Thursday) at St James' Church, Whitehaven.
